Wood Lathe Carbide Tipped Live Center, 2MT Morse Taper Shank, 8mm Carbide Tip with 60 Degree Point

nice lathe clamp

Product performs exactly as advertised.

Looking forward to using this. But I felt it necessary to add short pieces of 1/2" I.D. latex rubber tubing, slipping each piece over each of the 8 screw-in round hard plastic pieces that hold the wood bowl. This should greatly improve the grip. A 1-meter piece of tubing is relatively cheap and easy to buy on Amazon. Easy to cut the short lengths with regular 8" scissors. Slips on easy and stays snug.FOLLOW UP MONTHS LATER: The cole jaws have been working well. I subsequently made additional sets of screw-in posts using acetyl copolymer round rod, also buying appropriate screw lengths on Amazon with matching thread. I used 1/2" diameter rod for 1" long posts, and 3/4" diameter for 2" long posts to hold bowls where the optimal gripping zone is a bit further from the bowl edge. I used small cutoff pieces of the latex rubber tubing on the 1/2" diameter and silicone tubing for the 3/4" because it was difficult to find the latex tubing in that ID diameter. Both work extremely well in terms of protecting the wood surface and providing a good grip on the bowl.

It fits like glove. Thank you

Item arrived quickly, well packaged, as advertised, and sold at a very good price. Jaws are well-made of sturdy cast aluminum with bumper mounting holes precisely machined, and fits my VINWOX SCR4-4 Scroll Chuck perfectly. Jaw set comes with two sets of eight bumpers (short and long) and mounting screws. It happened that one of the long bumpers was missing from the set I received. I corresponded with the seller (SpeedForceUSA); they responded within a couple hours offering an entirely new set of jaws and bumpers since they do not carry the bumpers separately. I accepted their generous offer, and received the new (complete) set of jaws/bumpers in only two days! I now have several spare parts which should last me a very long time. I've used the jaw set a few times and find it to be a very good product from an excellent seller.

I now have two of these chucks...they are heavy and well made...I prefer the tommy bar version over the key/gear version as it turns easily by hand for quick sizing of the jaws.I have not had these chucks loosen at all while turning...I highly recommend them...Matt

The fit and functional design works well. It may be a few thousandths off but for wood turning it works well at this price point. Turned multiple handles/pens so far.The hold and adjustability are good. Solid weight and turns fine so far at speed.

Meh- it works, but I've found that the Wen chucks I've picked up after this one are MUCH better.This type of chuck key is a real pain to tighten well and loosen up- constantly slipping... at some point, I would guess that it will strip out.
